Thanks for all the feedback and comments on the Jabra Elite 65t. I am really liking the product. Many of you are asking about the ICONX 2018. So here is my comparison with Call Quality test. Keep in mind it was not windy outside when I did the test.

Purchased my Jabra elite 65t. It's on it's way now.Don't enjoy that digitaized sound, had that happen on one of my other bluetooth headphones and I didn't enjoy it. AND I liked that mic sound better on the Jabra than the Samsung ones. MAJOR gamechanger is gonna be the bluetooth 5.0 on the Jabra.

I was considering the Jabra from watching a few videos but went to Costco today and they had the IconX for $120 vs $170 for the Jabra on Amazon. Saved a buck and aftef watching reviews on the IconX, it is a good set.

I have both and a note 8, iconx do everything better especially ambient sound. Call quality is about the same. Most importantly Iconx are much and I mean much more comfortable. Simple volume up controls are nice on the 65ts but over no brainer for the iconx

If anybody is trying to make this decision any worried about peoples' issues with the iconx, I just wanted to let you know that there are quick easy fixes for them. For the volume drop after a while that is the most talked about, simply remove the white sticky filter from the earbud and it will never happen again. Somebody else said that the jabras sound better because of they have an equalizer, but if you have a Samsung phone the iconx have an equalizer too. Go into the sound settings and its in there. Adaptive sound make them sound much better, and they didn't sound terrible before.

Do not buy these headphones the Icon X or you will be screwed. I have bought them and honestly for the first month it was great, after that the left earbud broke on me for no reason, so I brought it to Samsung store, they had it repaired and sent back to me in 2 weeks. I was glad however, after another month the left earbud broke again. I got annoyed but, I brought it back to Samsung store where they fixed it again and sent it back to me in 2 weeks. After using them for another month the left earbud broke again, I asked for a replacement they told me they would but they had none of the buds in store, so they sent it away, and replaced couple of the parts inside the bud, kind of annoying but, i said okay. Maybe it will work this time, and after 2 weeks, they broke again. Now I was in rage, I called them and got someone on the phone who connected me to some guy in India, I am in Canada by the way. I told him my Situation, and all he did was repeat, I am sorry we can not replace or refund, only inspect and try to repair. literally, he would parrot this again and again for any and all questions, the only thing he would tell me that was different is that I would have to go to Samsung store, where in the store they told me I would have to call them. Now all I have are broken headphones, that wont work, are the headphones great, yeah they sound good, do they work no, they do not work. They only thing Samsung will do about is pretty much tell you to go fuck yourself, I have your money so go away. Do not buy these headphones, they will break on you for no reason, they cost 300$, and Samsung wont care about it.

I am very interested in buying the Iconx because I am a die-hard samsung user. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the latency is when watching videos (i.e: YouTube, Netflix, etc.) I baought the jaybird runs and the latency is so bad I can't watch videos at all with them. I am very dissatisfied with those…..😒😒😒

Probably gonna get the IconX because of the on board storage. That's really great for running and other sport activities. Also I don't like the idea of pushing on the earbud in my ear. I much prefer touch controls. I've already got a pair of over ear headphones that do this very well.

I like the Jabra's look a little better. However; I think that both cases are ugly and I mean ugly. They have no color or design. Maybe a little metal trim design would've made them look better. I don't mind something that small but it has to be strong and long lasting. Plus; for the price they both could've had a better looking case. Also I hate the Samsung buds look. They look plain. No style which is something that surprised me a lot from Samsung. One thing I have noticed about buds is that some of them look ugly on the ears. Apple iPods look like Qtips sticking out of the ears and others look so huge in the ear. I just bought a pair and I wore them for an hour and as soon as I bent down one fell on the floor. In order for me to like them they would have to fit like the HTC Usonics. I love the way they fit in my ear and soung. The noise cancelation is awesome. Also the Treblab J1. Let's face it. Who wants to be taking your buds off your ear in the middle of your favorite movie to charge them? That's annoying. Even with the case. Especially; when I'm getting a great sound and 7-8 hour battery life from my inear bluetooth headphones. With the kind of technology that's out there, I'm sure they can come up with something smaller and better. Regardless. That's just my opinion. You might not agree with me, and that's fine, but I'm just not throwing my money away. However; I want to thank you for your video. It is a great presentation. I will wait. Maybe 2019 will bring something different in all categories.
